I don’t remember it being fishy or cube-shaped. If I had to guess the meat, I’d guess beef or pork. And the shape was roughly spherical, but kindof… lumpy? It looked like it had been maybe torn off of a larger chunk of meat and then formed a bit.
At my place of work, one project we worked on involved a lot of contractors from a place based in China. (The project was an absolute cluster-fuck all the way from soup to nuts, but that’s a story for another day.) When the project concluded, they sent our office a thank-you gift box of various Chinese snacks.
One of the snacks was a… dried… meat… “candy”… I guess? The taste wasn’t “sweet” so much. It tasted like it had been dipped in perfume. And the texture of the meat was hard to describe. Not chewy like jerky, and it didn’t have that highly-processed Slim Jim sort of texture to it. Maybe it was sortof freeze-dried or something? I also couldn’t identify what animal the meat might have come from. (And I couldn’t read the text on the packaging.)
I’m not sure whether it was just an acquired taste or rather a practical joke by the folks at the Chinese company. Lol.
I don’t exist.
Disney is no stranger to hypocracy of that sort. Look at them making their billions off of the public domain (Snow White, Cinderella, Aladin, The Little Mermaid, need I go on?) while lobbying heavily for longer copyright terms to keep works they made from being similarly adapted.
The Go programming language documentation makes a big deal about how it “reads from left to right.” Like, if you were describing the program in English, the elements of the Go program go in the same order as they would in English.
I say this as someone who likes Go as a language and writes more of it than any other language: I honestly don’t entirely follow. One example they give is how you specify a type that’s a “slice” (think “list” or “array” or whatever from other languages) of some other type. For instance a “slice of strings” would be written []string. The [] on the left means it’s a slice type. And string on the right specifies what it’s a slice of.
But does it really make less sense to say “a string slice”?
In Go, the type always comes after the variable name. A declaration might look like:
var a string
Similarly in function declarations:
func bob(a string, b int, c float64) []string { ... }
Anyway, I guess all that to say I don’t mind the Go style, but I don’t fully understand the point of it being the way it is, and wouldn’t mind if it was the other way around either.
Edit: Oh, I might add that my brain will never use the term “a slice of bytes” for []byte. That will forever be “a byte slice” to me. I simply have no choice in the matter. Somehow my brain is much more ok with “a slice of strings”, though.
New fear unlocked.
Not just something you call a very extraverted toddler. Got it.
Saying this as nicely as I can, you’re well out of touch with consensus reality in a way that caused unwanted disruption in the technology community. The mods took action (specifically the action of banning you) to maintain a harassment-free environment.
And no, you don’t have any sort of sixth sense about porn addiction. Do you need help?
You were pushing porn addiction propaganda on people who said nothing about being addicted to anything in particular, let alone porn.
You used to be able to say pretty much whatever you wanted on Lemmy.
Happy cake day!
Na you were pushing a weird personal agenda and harassing people rather than dropping it.
Also, not everything you don’t like is “turning into Reddit”.
Makes note in game master secret ideas list
I never would have thought to print them at an angle like that, but thinking it through, I bet relative to other obvious-ish options, it a) improved part strength (particularly along the axes where you most need strength), b) saved a bit of material, c) improved bed adhesion. Smart move in general. I’ll have to keep that approach in mind for my own prints.
The way I’ve embedded magnets in prints in the past was to:
Yes, I was a bit nervous about the magnet potentially jumping up and sticking to some ferromagnetic metal that’s part of the print head, but that didn’t happen in my case. YMMV, I guess.
I guess theoretically it could also be the case that the heat from printing could weaken the magnet, but again, that wasn’t an issue in my case.
Just to elaborate on what my project was, I had a freely-spinning part that I wanted to be able to fix in place or unfix. I fashioned a “stop” that when engaged would fix the freely-spinning part in place. The way it works is that the stop can move freely up and down. Putting it in the “down” position fixes the freely-spinning part in place and gravity keeps it engaged. But to disengage it, you slide it straight up. At the top of the “track” in which it slides is where I put the magnet. I used the same technique as described above to embed a little stack of about four staples into the stop itself. So, by sliding the stop to the top of the track, the magnet attracts the staples, keeping the stop disengaged until you pull it back down again to where gravity will keep it engaged until you move it back up.

Bold assumption.
No, meditation is not like drugs.
You’ve been doing the wrong meditation. ;)
Seriously, though, I kindof bristle any time I hear anyone say that “meditation is” some particular thing. What meditation is is extremely broad and varied to the point that it nearly defies definition.
Sure many buddhist jhana practitioners will say that the purpose of jhanas is insight, but what if I develop my jhana skills and never seek insight? Is that really not meditation?
Or, if I sit quietly and learn to contact my subconscious and/or Jungian archetypes. Or if I make up my own idiosyncratic form of practice specifically in order to try to become a hungry ghost in the next life, is that really not meditation?
(Mind you, it’s valid to accept a particular strict definition of meditation within a specific context. If I was at a vipassana retreat doing white skeleton meditation, that’d probably be kindof assholeish. And if the teacher was like “no, correct meditation is such-and-such,” I wouldn’t be like “nuh-uh my ass is meditation, man”. This situation is pretty different. If OP has found a way to “meditate” that’s “better than drugs” rather than “training the mind to be calm, patient, observant and focused”, that hardly makes it invalid or “not meditation.” Any more so than if they say “nice to meet you” rather than “hey, what’s up”, that makes it “not a greeting.”)
Whew. My 586 is safe.
Last time I was tempted to use suid, it was in order to allow an application I’d written to listen on 80 and 443. Fortunately I found the capabilities way of doing that (setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' executable) and that was the first I ever heard of capabilities. I consider myself pretty Linux-savvy, but it was pretty recently that I learned about capabilities.
The mention of “cold” makes me think you’re thinking they were prepared food of some sort or at least “wet”. These were shelf-stable, individually-wrapped “candies” (I think the note on the gift box even referred to them as “candies”) that came in a larger, plastic bag with art and text printed on it. Like you might think of bags of, say, these. Except they were a dried meat product, not losenges or caramels or whatever. And they weren’t “sweet” the way you think of candy. They tasted like you might imagine something dipped in perfume (and then dried) might taste. One more detail: I remember them being drier than any jerkey I’d ever eaten. They simply didn’t have enough moisture in them to have any heat conductivity to speak of. (Asking if they were cold is like asking if room-temperature Rice Crispies dry and straight from the box are “cold”.)
